Hi,

How exactly did you do this?

To my knowledge, ALT I P S hot key is no longer in Word, it was taken out in Word 2013 and Word 2016.

Just scan your picture to your hard drive. Your scanner should have that ability to make a .jpg or .png or .gif file. Then use Insert > Pictures option to insert the picture.

Regards,

Ethan Hua

Hi Ethan

Thanks For Reply but My scanner is not having Functionality to Store Scan doc as Pic of PDF directly. Earlier we were using Word 2010 which has the command INSERTIMAGERSCAN. we used to assign any short cut key to this command and can inserted Picture ot doc Directly in Ms Word 2016.

In Word 2016 same command is available but when we assign shortcut key and used that it hows an Error:- This Command is not available on This Platform.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for my late response.

>>we were using Word 2010 which has the command INSERTIMAGERSCAN

All WordBasic command has been removed from the VBA command set of Word 2013 and later version.

See if the longer macro shared in this page works for you:
